Your Second Visit to Our Nixa Practice

Dr. Shanks conducts a through exam.

After we study your health history and correlate our examination findings, we’ll make recommendations designed to help you get and keep your health. We call this the Report of Findings.

This is usually attended to on your second visit, which may be later the same day or the following day. This two-visit approach accomplishes several things:

  • Reduces the length of your first visit
  • Gives us time to correlate our findings
  • Avoids overloading you with too much information 

In certain situations, and in the professional judgment of Dr. Shanks, we sometimes make exceptions. It just depends on your unique situation.

Dr. Michael  Asks some important questions of interest to Nixa residents - Chiropractor Nixa Dr. Michael Asks...

How could a child benefit from chiropractic?
Regardless of our age, each of us in Nixa encounters physical, chemical and emotional stresses that exceed our ability to handle. For newborns, it could be the trauma encountered at birth. For toddlers it could be from learning to walk or ride a bike. Many of the problems we chiropractors see in adults are the result of neglected traumas from childhood.
What's the difference between a "good" drug and a "bad" drug?
As a chiropractor, I see the use of drugs (legal or illegal) as merely symptom treating. Worse, virtually every drug produces unwanted effects. The only effects of chiropractic are positive effects. If you're a Nixa parent, consider carefully before giving your child a cough medication, cold remedy or pain reliever so this sort of question doesn't arise in the first place.
